Hot water makes mud set much faster. As for Drano, I would not use it as I'm not sure what the chemical reaction would produce? They use vinyl polymers in joint compounds nowadays to improve spreadability which may have an adverse reaction?

I don't think it was much, I hope.

So am I screwed?

Well, test your drain. Fill up buckets of water and flush it down the drain, see if it seems to be slow.

You might now feel a difference now, but the problem could be that the compound hardened to form a barrier that catches stuff coming down the drain (like hair), which over time could build up to a real problem.

There's always a ton of random crap in sewer pipes. Let Drano do it's drano...

but since Supernet9 let the compound dry, he's now only got snaking as an option.

Again, that's not a good idea. Drano when mixed with other chemicals can form highly toxic gas clouds or even be explosive.

Have you ever heard of a Drano bomb? »newyork.cbslocal.com/201 ··· o-bombs/
